Duplicati is a free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers. It supports targets like Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Docs, Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH, FTP.
It comes packed with backup options. You’re able to specify common backup sources with a click, for instance, or choose the specific files and folders you need. Include and Exclude filters help refine exactly what you’re saving, and built-in AES-256 encryption keeps your archive safe.
A capable scheduler will run each backup job automatically at the specified interval. Handy performance controls allow you to limit the program’s upload or download speeds, so it won’t tie up too many system resources.
Duplicati is about saving files and folders, rather than full partitions, so if you’re looking for something that will create an image of your system drive then this isn’t the program for you. It provides various options and tweaks like filters, deletion rules, transfer and bandwidth options to run backups for specific purposes.
